LOVE I COULDN'T GIVE
(Chuck Rogers)


Faron Young - 1971


Across the room an empty bed 
Just barely cold from where your body warmed it
The tingle of your woman feel 
Still lingers like your footsteps in the hall
The final desperation of my reachin' 
For the only love that makes me want to live
And I curse the need that drives you to
The man who helps you find the love I couldn't give

(Instrumental Break)

If I could give your mind a voice 
And hear the thoughts that lie behind your needin'
I could be the kind of man 
To help you satisfy the hungerin' you crave
And if I had to, I would even sell my very soul
To Satan in the deal
To fill the need that drives you to
The man who helps you find the love I couldn't give

And if I had to I would even sell my very soul
To Satan in the deal
To fill the need that drives you to 
The man who helps you find the love I couldn't give
